About this property
Peace & Quiet! Priv Beach Access/Pool/Fireplace, By Marina/Pier/Wildlife Refuge
Relax & chill at The Lilly Pad Fort Morgan!
Quiet, peaceful, low crowd, less hustle.
Let go of stress!
Great place for 2 small families or a multi generational visit.
2200 sqft
Community pool: 2 minute walk.
Beach: 4-5 minute walk.
Balloon wheel beach wagon!
Comfy home, fully stocked.
Beach towels, umbrella, chairs, sand toys!
Portable kiddie pool & wagon.
Explore Bon Secour Refuge & the historic fort.
Surf fish on the beach or at FREE Fort Morgan pier, 1.5 miles away. Ride the ferry to Dauphin Island and visit the Sea Lab/Estuarium. Restaurants/bar/coffee shop/ice cream shops nearby.
The Lilly Pad Fort Morgan is in the upscale Dunes Homes, a gated community offering...
*Parking: up to 4 vehicles...even a small boat. NO PARKING FEES! NO AMENITY FEES!
*Spacious open floor plan w/9 ft ceilings
*Security & Safety...gated neighborhood with security guard who patrols during high season. New door codes for each user. Exterior security cameras reduce problems.
*LARGE Pool only 2 minute walk away! Hot tub at pool.
*Beach access (community only access, NO public beach!) only 4-5-ish minute walk to boardwalk. 20 car parking lot near the boardwalk if you prefer to drive to it.
*Balloon wheeled beach wagon. It makes going across sand a breeze!
*Low Density Area...being in Fort Morgan means you won't be sharing the beach with thousands of people like in Gulf Shores or Orange Beach. Even big beach holidays don't have as many folks because developments/zoning are purposefully limited.

About the host
Hosted by Jean Lynd
We are a hardworking family with 4 kids, 3 grandkids. Our family members have medical conditions which require a NO ANIMALS/NO SMOKING policy with zero tolerance. We live local to The Lilly Pad & regularly use it. It is our place to come unwind, relax & let go of life's stresses & worries.
Why they chose this property
Fort Morgan is a low density area with limited population and is much quieter and more peaceful than incorporated Gulf Shores/Orange Beach. Our community is situated alongside the eastern boundary of Bon Secour Wildlife Preserve. It is also less than 2 miles from historical Fort Morgan and the Fort Morgan to Dauphin Island Ferry system, as well as the FREE new Fort Morgan Public Pier. Our community is just across Highway 180 from Tacky Jacks 2 restaurant and the Fort Morgan Marina, which has Pelican Scoops Ice Cream Parlor as well as the Tacky Jacks Bar (downstairs from the restaurant). You will be sent an email close to check in with info on all the local Fort Morgan restaurants and fun things to do while visiting. If you need that info earlier than that, just reach out! I can also provide you with information on charter fishing trips, golf cart rentals, baby gear rentals, photographers, etc.
What makes this property unique
I am a little bit fanatical about all things Lilly Pulitzer, so the colorful, beachy, resort-like vibe of the designer to Jackie Kennedy Onasis & others was a perfect fit. We have added lots of touches of Lilly throughout.
Our home is fully loaded with so many nice touches that truly make it a home-away-from-home. I also strive to be the very best host possible, keeping the property in great condition, with lots of extra amenities, and offering concierge-type services.
